Last time on Song of Swords:
Nothing
Join the discord before this thread dies too.

Song of Swords is a a tabletop RPG centered around realistic medieval fightan' with a ludicrous variety of weapons and fighting styles, centered around a dice pool system. It's currently in beta, and can be used for both fantasy and historical games. The Kickstarter was nearly 300% funded, and we're on the fast track to kicking ass baby.

Call of the Void: Ballad of the Laser Whales is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.

MEGA folder containing current version of the game and all supplementary materials.
Note that the latest version of the game is v1.9.9 but with additional supplements.

Here's a wiki detailing SoS's fantasy setting, getting filled up bit by bit as Jimmy reveals more details:

There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
If you're looking to learn, post here in the thread.

We also play Guy Windsor's card game Audatia in the room, but now we have a much better way to play Audatia: Tabletop Simulator! The (official!) mod for Audatia is now up and running!

>>
>>53252308
Because we most of the time don't even talk about things anyway related to the game.
>>
>>53252308
Because people still need a way to find the game, ask about it, and be introduced. If the people who know about and discuss the game are insular, then the game will also become insular and slowly die. Nobody is talking about it anywhere else, so this is the only place to drum up any sort of wider audience. I'd like the game I like to have other people that play it.

I'd just like to let you all know that Isao Machii has cut a bullet in half with his sword on video, confirming that this is a real thing that can be done if you're sufficiently badass.

You don't say.
>>

Burd it up.

>>53258022
To clarify, the bullet had been shot out of a gun very shortly prior. The difficult part is the hitting of it, not splitting the lead.
>>
>>53257953
>>53258092
Realistically, I think this is probably only possible with collusion between the shooter and swordsman. Getting proper timing and location down is most of the struggle. If you wanted to do it in Ballad, though, fuck it, it's pulp anyway. Just steal the Burdinadin power to parry bullets and go for it. The only thing limiting you is your imagination.

Do you have a link to the video?

Etiquette is being added in. So is Thievery, which would include lockpicking. The skill was absent from earlier editions because locks weren't really a thing.

I meant in the sense of ubiquitous on-every-door locks that people would put on common things, and which would have similar mechanisms that you could learn how to pick once and then apply to every other lock. There will still be a skill for lockpicking (it will be rolled into Thievery) but this isn't the sort of game where generally you'll be finding chests with locks all over the place, or even doors with locks that aren't on important buildings.
Then again, who breaks into an unimportant building.

Locks were actually pretty common on doors. Like, standardized pin locks on regular house doors being the norm. That was Roman and probably had retreated somewhat from common use by the middle ages, but you still find a bunch of keys and locks in medieval city excavations which suggests they were probably relatively common, if not on every door or chest. Plus the symbol of a noblewoman caring for her own lands is a giant fucking keyring. So you'd probably be stumbling over locks really commonly.

Locks of a common make that are reproducable.

Plus pin tumbler locks have been the standard European lock design since the fucking Egyptians.

Question for Jimmy: Have you read the Unsong?

Seems like it's a good thing for a Christian-based religious fiction grounding. More applicable to modern stuff than SoS though.
>>
>>53263329
No, it wouldn't detract at all. The game's system doesn't rely on it like some do, but the default assumption is still that your characters exist in a world with spatial dimensions much like our own, and which thus is mappable.
>>
>>53263329
>but they're really pissy about having to actually imagine where things are
Are they okay with imagining what their characters do? Go for it.

There seems to be conflicts about how staunching bloodloss is supposed to work. The surgery description says that it's reduced by 1 per success, whereas the description of blood loss with wounds says that there's some RS to meet that halts all blood loss. Which is it? If it's the former, does that also mean that repeated surgery tests to staunch bloodloss can be made? e.g. if someone has a bleed of 20, can you keep making surgery tests, and slowly reducing their bleed until they stop?

But can they parry swords with bullets?

It's probably the latter, since it would be almost impossible to stop the bleeding of some wounds otherwise. Not very serious wounds, even.

>>53265215
Around what time can we expect the next update? You seem to have a pretty good drip feed every week or two. It keeps us satiated and the Kickstarter backers confident the game exists.
>>
>>53265249
That is the idea. Things are going faster than it may appear, we are trying to keep a good schedule because we also must account for formatting and editing prior to the release of the final product the coming febuary.

I can tell you this: Magic is no vaporware. We have top men working on it. It's going to be hype as fuck. I'm super excited about the magic system. I think it's going to be great. Plus skills are going back to the comfy system we all knew and loved, with packets and more skills to boot.

Soon the big talent changes will come. That's going to be a major game-changer. All of the stupid complexity of talents is going away, but your favorites will still be there. It'll be more like Ballad and less complicated and specific.

>>53272041
Larger than an average human's, but not larger than it is normally possible for a human flame to become. A mechanical way to put it would be that the more Arc a person has earned and spent relative to the length of his life, the greater his flame is.
>>
>>53272784
Any other really big flames in the world worth noting?
>>
>>53272784
But, aren't flames supposed to hunger for life and some shit?
What does the Big G hunger?
Or is it that his flame is just completely different, but a flame nonetheless?
>>
>>53273103
Oh sure. The most powerful Flames in general are those of people--ancient beings which lay dormant for long periods tend to actually have rather small Flame presences, which makes them harder to detect before they wake up. Eskarne for example is a blinding presence to Firesight, because she has both been alive for a long time, and accomplished a lot (as she defines accomplishment) in her lifetime. Seeing Eskarne coming is not hard at all if you are a Pyromancer, she's like a walking chemical fire. The same is true for those who can see into the Spirit-Realm, for different reasons.

>>53273190
Genosus craves order and constructive behavior. He has succeeded tremendously in imposing these values on the world, and so his Fire is very, very powerful, to the point that it manifests physically. It is also partially his nature, he is a tremendous being who predates the universe--and his entire life's purpose since the birth of that universe has been in doing exactly what he is doing.
Bocanadessia is also powerful in this manner, but she has encountered more serious setbacks than her brother, and she is also less fulfilled in her purpose, so she does not shine so brightly.
>>
>>53273363
>her brother
>they're siblings
I believe this is new info.
>>
>>53273402
I'm sure I've mentioned it before. They are both the children of He Who Came First And Will Be, at least nominally--it's difficult to say what "children" means in the context of entities that powerful.

But they are "siblings" at least in how they address each other, and it is an easy idea to swallow that the sun and moon are related.

>>
>>53274243
I have never seen a skill system that wasn't tremendously boring. They can be at best functional and get out of the way. The problem isn't that skills are boring, the problem is that they aren't functional. There's dice bloat everywhere, no standardized RSs, dice rolls careen between opposed rolls and rolls against static RSs with no rhyme or reason. What few guidelines exist are retarded, with Charisma needing to have twice as many dice as any other skill to reliably persuade anyone and athletics requires more dice than is possible for a human to achieve in order to be probably able to run a marathon.

>>53273671
The Burdinadin are certain that the world is round, and most traditions agree with this. The Zells don't think the world has any consistent shape at all, that it fluctuates over time and expands or shrinks as the gods will it.
Humans tend to believe one of these two narratives.

>>53273883
It's an unusually sparse subject. Genosians and Dessians both technically acknowledge the primacy of He Who Came First, because the gods they worship also acknowledge that primacy, but very few worship the entity itself. According to all sources (Zells acknowledge He Who Came First as the apocalyptic event that destroyed the perfect universe, leaving only The Seven behind as survivors) He Who Came First left after discovering Mundus. He saw it, assigned Bocanadessia and Genosus to oversee it in his absence, and then simply departed back to whatever other realm was next on his tour.

All of the theologies agree that He Who Came First is not present, and cannot hear the prayers of men. Some cults believe that if enough people were to pray to it, it would hear and potentially return, but these cults are generally classified as doomsday cults--the return of He Who Came First would be apocalyptic, it would destroy everything, just as it destroyed the world of The Seven, who were once a race without number.

The only one of these cults which has any real power is actually Orredinian Genosism. The Orredin acknowledge Genosus, but they see him as a servant, and they see themselves as equal to him, in spiritual significance if not in power. They believe that someday, the Over-God will return and lift them up to become beings like Genosus and Bocanadessia, favored servants who will some day rule over their own universes.
Humans are often drawn into this religion with the promise that they, in the "next life" will be made into Orredin, or something similar, and so will ascend a sort of spiritual ladder towards godhood.

Probably Galli, but perhaps Helion. The Gallians take great pride in well-disciplined households and highly skilled servants. A much envied arrangement is an Ohanedin sworn to serve a family for a predetermined number of generations. They are known for their use of wooden tongs to handle silverware and other metal objects--which can become a spectacle in and of itself at events, as the elf attempts to move large quantities of metal finery about using what amounts to a pair of chopsticks.

In Helion, however, most members of society end up as someone's servant at some point or another, to gain favor with powerful figures and to make contacts. There, being a butler or a maid is a highly ritualized position, one with uncountable tenants and rules of etiquette. Those who succeed in these positions are often given favorable political posts later in life, while others simply continue doing the work indefinitely.

In the Krajina, there is a fashion of keeping a Zell "in the family" for multiple generations as a sort of tutor for the young lords of the family. She (it is usually a lady, for decorum's sake) is normally a part of the crew of some ship, and comes by yearly to educate the family's heir, sometimes absconding them to go sailing for a few months, or more. The Krajini nobility are quite convinced that young noblemen should all be pirates at some point in their lives, and this is usually accomplished by having them hang out with Zells for a year or two. Occasionally, young ladies are given the same treatment, though this is rarer as most nobles would not dare send their daughters out on a ship full of elves, for fear of never getting them back.

Suffice to say the Krajini nobility are mostly sailors at heart, and the navy is thus quite powerful. All by design, one might say.

To a degree it is true. Some parts of the world actually DO fluctuate in size. The Infinite Steppe isn't named that by coincidence. The same is true of the Sea of Eyes, and certain other oceans. Stars also periodically vanish, or reappear. It is much harder navigating the ocean and even the land in Tattered Realms than it is in our world, and to a certain extent the world is in constant flux, if not to the extent that some might imagine it to.

Well, it is to some extent. As long as the user installed all dependencies it could be run locally. Though that precludes the effective usage of the character sharing, copying, and display features (as it stands it has a somewhat aesthetically pleasing inbuilt character sheet). Also, the dependency list is pretty long, and all the command line stuff might be a bit beyond the comfort level of some or many people in the thread.

It is believed that the universe "existed" but that it was totally static and unchanging, without time or light. The coming of He Who Came First destroyed that universe, and created a new one where things changed and grew. The Seven are the last remnant of that old universe, beings who were saved by the shadow cast by the Uber-God's servants, The Twelve Great Old Ones, whose combined shadows left seven safe spaces in the universe where the gods were able to hide.

Shadows can overlap. Also don't assume that all of the Twelve emerged from whatever star-rift they came through evenly dispersed around He. They may have come all on one side, and He on the other, creating a dense network of shadow.

What the hell is a laser whale anyway? Are they an actual race of animal, all identical in species? Are they like the youma of magical girl shows and games, each one unique, with randomly generated capabilities rolled by the GM to make whaling more interesting? Are they zellislava wrought of flesh and bone instead of ship and crew?
>>

>>53287323
They're whales with lasers. Who cares about the details?
>>
>>53288226
Whalers care. And the PCs can be whalers as much as pirates or mercenaries in this game.
>>
>>53288226
Imagine how awesome a dynamically generated whale system would be though. Something like the systems for dogs and horses, but instead of "this dog is well-trained" with things like "this dog has a row of 137 nostrils down his spine, in which reside countless void-bats which will spew forth and attack if the whale is agitated". I want whales with seven eyes, each of which holds dominion over a different emotion. I want whales with no eyes but with such a great regality that man and beast alike must bow before them. I want whales who do not merely fire lasers, but who are composed entirely of lasers. I want a super intelligent whale that can control minds directly and is basically a fucking Aboleth. When we have a white whale scene in this game, it's cool if it's an emotional journey that focuses more on the characters than on the whale. But when the whale is actually reached, I want the battle with it to not be the one with Moby Dick, but the one from Re:Zero. And I want all of those anime-tier reality-fucking abilities to be abilities that the whales can have. These are, after all, fundamental ancient beings of the universe, creatures which predate humanity and human logic, which are greater than humans in size and in mystery, and on which the very foundation of society is based. They need to be a big fucking deal, and they ought to be unique big fucking deals.
>>
>>53287323
Randomly generated unique whales sounds badass.

Every one would have a name, unique appearance and myths and legends applied to them.


And then you got people who whale them with huge-ass harpoons in flying ships.

You'd have laser blue whales, laser kraken whales with 8 tentacles that all shoot lasers, laser cthulhu, laser puffer fish that instead of spikes on its skin, has spikes that shoot out lasers.

All would be called laser whales. Because they are big, and shoot lasers.
>>
>>53288611
>>53288915
That sounds fucking rad.
Also, just thinking about it. Randomly generating such things could be done within the rules pdf. pdf supporting a subset of JS and all that. Why has no game, to my knowledge at least, done that yet?
In the printed version you'd still have a page with the empty boxes, you could use as a template.

As an addendum to it, I'm thinking that these things shouldn't modify cost, like with dogs or horses, but the amount of attainable oil. In fact, do you have a player-facing currency in Ballad yet? Because putting everything on the oil standard would make sense. Particularly because your ship runs on it anyway and so there's otherwise two important resources to track. You can probably just abstract the rendering process to say that either you have an oven on your ship (like in the latter part of the real life whaling industry) or you don't (like in the earlier part, in which case your ship is probably more manageably sized), and you need to spend x time per barrel refining to get salable oil.

The benefit to this is that players can avoid society almost indefinitely of need be, and still operate effectively if they can eat.

Despite the very wide variety of beasts, most are widely considered inedible by the Voscans.

Predators for example are considered unclean and bad to eat, which rules out a great many monsters. Drakes are also considered unhealthy--which is actually true, most of them end up with a dangerously high heavy metal reserve in their bodies and are extremely toxic.

It may well be that the finest game in Vosca to be hunted for food is still the elk, or perhaps the boar. That is not to say however that predators are not occasionally hunted for sport or safety--Gallian Cave Lions are fearsome creatures, and some can grow quite large, and hungry for human flesh. It is also always considered appropriate to kill the hyenas who dwell in Iber, Southern Galli and (far less today than once) in Illegon. They're not beautiful creatures but they travel in packs, and having a very broad rug made of many dead hyenas is something appropriate of any lord.

Last and finally, in Dace there is the Ostokroznok--which may or may not be real, but which could taste like anything, because none have ever been caught and eaten. The Ostokroznok (commonly called the Roznok) is some sort of large cat--either a tiger or a lion, researchers theorize the former--that is invisible to the naked eye.

Many great hunters have vanished trying to find this beast.
>>
>>53310660
>magestone fueled invisible tigers

Now the real question is whether they know they're invisible or not.
>>
>>53311087
You know those videos that are titled something like "can you see the tiger before it attacks?"

Now they are invisible. You cannot see them before they attack. You cannot see them during the attack. You cannot see them. Good luck.

It's magical antigravity whale oil anyway, you can adjust the value (and output per whale) for game design purposes as needed. And it wouldn't be an official currency, the nations would mint their own. But the game is set up so that the PCs are likely to be pirates and mercenaries, so whale oil makes a good de facto currency as the primary recognized one. Instead of a £ira, you spend a £iter.

Glad to contribute something besides just riding your ass about things and editing the wiki for a change. Maybe I'll come up with a table/list of whale-appropriate modifiers. Wouldn't hurt since I could use something similar for my own game anyway.

>>53310660
Is there game hunting in SoS? Seems like a good sport evocative of the period directly anteceding the scramble for Africa, but I don't recall you mentioning an analogue to sub-saharan Africa either.
>>

>>
Relevant to the other night's discussion of bad taste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGR8VIvtxU4
>>
>>53313626
I mistyped. I meant in Ballad.

But Lost Izagonne is more of a Great Zimbabwe type society, not a "look out here come the Belgians" type Africa.
>>
>>53313073
Oh, Space Africa does exist, and people hunt beasties there (and other places) but in Ballad, it's mostly overshadowed by whaling. Hunting whales or other Void-Monsters is considered a way bigger (and more profitable) accomplishment than merely shooting lions and such.

The Rahoos, largely because of their failure to meaningfully colonize large parts of their chain, still enjoy the opportunity to hunt certain big game--the Desotian Mammoth--known for their ability to "float" between islands very slowly--is still a common sight in much of the island chain. The Dussack-Jaw Cougar (actually not a cougar at all) is still present, and is dangerous enough that they are often hunted from planes just to trim down their population before settlers try setting up another doomed homestead on the frontier.

For a time it was customary for Chironite officers to travel to Desotia to shoot a Whispering Puma so that its fangs could be gilded and made into a pair of spurs, which were worn as a sign of bravery.
>>
>>53315050
>bigger and more profitable accomplishment
I mean, that's not the same thing as trophy hunting though. Trophy hunting in real life had the advantage that you could find unique and spectacular organisms, and you could do it without residing on a ship with vile lowbloods for potentially years at a time. Because it was profitable, it became an industry rather than a luxury.

I like the idea of gilded puma spurs. Seem like a good minor treasure to give players.
>>
>>53315115
A good point. In that regard there's a good amount of the practice about. Overhunting isn't as much of a problem in the Void because islands regularly rotate far from the Core Islands, giving their populations a long time to replenish.
>>
>>53315417
>the natural environment is ever-refreshed so that we can exploit natural resources indefinitely without causing depletion
So I guess your setting is grimbright, with a perfect world where evils come chiefly from man?

And unrelated to that, but somewhat related to the hunting, how are fish? It occurs to me that society would be very very different without large populations of oceanic fish to provide protein to the poor.
>>
>>53315454
There are spacefish, apparently.
>>
>>53315454
There are fish that occupy the Void, using much the same mechanism as the Whales to maintain their bouyancy in air. Many live just within underspace or just above, others range very high, feeding on certain floating plantline and spores which fill much the same role as plankton. Moisture is necessary in great amounts for these plants to live, but great amounts of vapor emerge from Underspace (leading many to believe that there is some source of water down there, though it might just be rain eternally cycling from the above-space to the below and back) and there are all manner of complexities involved which don't matter much to the average Void Sailor.

There are also some fish which live both in water, and in the Void, sort of amphibious (?) creatures who come to rivers to lay eggs and such, and then return to the open air, or die.

It is true however that the great majority of people in the industrialized world, particularly the Home Islands, are somewhat malnourished. There is a critical lack of farmland in some parts that cannot keep up with the growing population, and that has caused great swathes of the populations of Albion, Arlon, and even Chiron to flee for Rahoo and other colonies, where new lands are plentiful--if you can hold onto them.
It is commonly speculated that part of the cause of the wars in the Home Islands is that fairly soon there simply will not be enough food for everybody. They will be forced to either rely increasingly on artificial fertilizers, or else implement serious population growth limitations. Chiron has been powering on heedless of this, no doubt intent on simply conquering and displacing those around them to fill their needs as time goes on. That may be a bit optimistic of them...
>>
>>53315839
>using much the same mechanism as the Whales
I thought the whales were buoyant because the oil is magic? Do fish have oil too? Is this fish oil rich in Omega-3?
>>
>>53316024
It's the bones that make them bouyant, the whale oil is used for energy, it's what allows them to fire the laser whale laser.
>>
>>53316234
So in other words, you have a vested interest in preventing a whale from firing its lasers when you're hunting? You want to sneak up quick and finish it fast, rather than just tiring it out and not losing it, and hoping you're lucky and it doesn't sink you, as with real whales?

I'm having a hard time imagining how one would accomplish this.

>>53310254
There's a problem with that though. Historically, when a material becomes the backing material for a currency, it tends to stop being used, and is instead hoarded. If whale oil backs Ballad currency, people would likely be rather opposed to burning it as fuel--it would seem too much like literally burning money.

Which is of course irrational, as you'd spend money on it to burn if something else backed the currency, but people in general are pretty terrible at rationality. There's a reason Keynes attributed so many odd market occurrences to the "Animal Spirits".

The Council of Stone will generally replace him. If they have to kill him, they will do so, but it is rare that such a thing is necessary, so long as the removal of is legal according to tradition.

There used to be. Albion, Galli and Lucania were called "The Treyarch Compact" during CWI, and Chiron and its allies were called The Interior Alliance."

So you had Treyarch vs Allies in CWI, with the Allies being Chiron etc. and the Treyarch being Albion, Galli and Lucania.

Then in CWII, the Albish and the Gallians were frustrated by Lucania's siding with Chiron, and with the Volgins self-destructing, were forced to abandoned the "Treyarch" title and instead call themselves the Joint-Coalition.

Chiron and Lucania (and Weissen and other minor states absorbed by them at this point) called themselves the People's Union.

So in CWII it was Coalition and Union.

Now Galli has fallen (though their navy and many colonies still resist) and Lucania and Chiron are starting to get a bit antsy towards each other, so it's safe to say those terminologies might fall out of usage soon as well. The Rahoo media usually bluntly refers to them as "Poms and Cherries," Pom referring to the Albish, and Cherries referring to Chironites.

NZ isn't named yet but has been implied. I think Australia is something with a J like Janzonia.

NZ has neither. It has kiwi's and big maori fuckers who suck at rugby so they open every game by trying to hex their opponent. So far the only not awful things mentioned are roos

So spill the beans you bastard. How did you fuck up the game without realising? And how did it get through the admittedly little QC? Why are you only playing your own damn game now?

He fought against a silver guard multiple times in a row, and won using nothing but round small stones and suplexes.

>>53353350
To clarify, he built a really stupid character and then fought someone with almost twice his CP and won because grappling. He briefly talked about it in the disco, said he's going to go into details on the game problems and the actual sessions later, probably after sleeping.
>>
>>53353350
Did silver guard bring his buffed servants?
>>
>>53353415
But this sounds exactly right. If you know grappling and the other guy doesn't, and you even have surprise on them, you're supposed to win easily.

>>53353458
no doubt it's other aspects of the game which are faulty

What's this about turtles?
>>
>>53363092
Because we were talking about whaling. In the real world, whalers took Galapagos turtles with them (big part of why they're not very endangered) because they'll estivate and thus stay alive (and thus fresh) for potentially more than a year at a time.

Huh. Probably an expensive new tech though. Smaller operations may still use stuff like the turtles or stick to clusters of islands.

knowing jimmy there will probably be a void parasite that is attracted tothe coolness of the fridge, creep inside and waits until someone wants a snack and eats the hapless sailors face (saving the tongue for ewasons unknown)

Freon was such a big deal because it was so much cheaper.

>>53369770
So you're saying the correct solution to not posting in the thread is to not post in the thread? Revolutionary. Perhaps we should just let the thread die for a month or so until something has changed a die a quiet-ish death by sliding into obscurity like VeloCITY

I am saying that you. YOU THE PERSON WHO HAS A PROBLEM
with the people who are in the Discord.
YOU, go to the Discord and then tell them to post in the thread.
Because that's where YOU feel the problem is.
